Jetstar and Qantas flights from Western Sydney International (WSI) are now on sale, with Jetstar set to operate the new airport’s first passenger flight on 25 October 2026.
Jetstar will make history as the first passenger airline to depart Western Sydney International, with its inaugural flight scheduled for Sunday 25 October 2026, the day Greater Sydney’s new airport opens to travellers.
From launch, Jetstar will operate up to 14 weekly flights to Melbourne, four weekly flights to the Gold Coast and three weekly flights to Brisbane from WSI.
Qantas services follow from 28 March 2027, with four weekly flights to Brisbane and four weekly flights to Melbourne, giving the airport mainline and low-cost coverage across the east coast from its first summer of operation.
What does the WSI schedule look like at a glance?
From 25 October 2026, Jetstar flies WSI to Melbourne (up to 14 weekly), Gold Coast (four weekly) and Brisbane (three weekly). From 28 March 2027, Qantas adds WSI to Brisbane and WSI to Melbourne, each four times weekly with all-inclusive fares.
For clients in Greater Sydney’s west and south-west, the new airport cuts the trek to Kingsford Smith out of the equation for east coast trips, with Jetstar’s low-fare model pitched at leisure travellers and Qantas targeting those wanting a full-service product.
KARRYON UNPACKS: Sydney’s second airport just went from construction milestone to bookable product. With Jetstar leading the charge into Melbourne, Brisbane and the Gold Coast, WSI opens a genuine new departure point for the roughly 2.5 million people of Greater Sydney’s west, and the October 2026 countdown is now real for the trade.
